Summary/Abstract: How do contemporary writers that we associate with the migrant wave in modern world literature write about the other? Why do they emphasize on the exotic? Do they believe in the possible encounter of cultures? These are only some of the questions this text attempts to answer, working on texts of authors as Sandra Cisneiros, Jhumpa Lahiri, Ornella Vorspi and Mohsin Hamid.
